I have emailed tech support and have gotten the issue resolved. I've also updated my comments to be more appropriate to the root issue. You might make a note in the item desc that you can't update the firmware with this block and thus you cannot use it as a starting point if you don't own either a "base" block or "arduino breakout board".

EDIT: NOTE: Make sure you get the "BASE" block NOT the "CONSOLE" block or you will NOT be able to update the Edison firmware OR upload any programs! If you don't have the "Arduino Breakout Kit" you cannot start out with this board like it says in the desc.

In 2003, CU student Nate Seidle fried a power supply in his dorm room and, in lieu of a way to order easy replacements, decided to start his own company. Since then, SparkFun has been committed to sustainably helping our world achieve electronics literacy from our headquarters in Boulder, Colorado.

No matter your vision, SparkFun's products and resources are designed to make the world of electronics more accessible. In addition to over 2,000 open source components and widgets, SparkFun offers curriculum, training and online tutorials designed to help demystify the wonderful world of embedded electronics. We're here to help you start something.
